Shark tank

Hello another quick question. I am looking at doing a new saltwater tank for a bamboo or a epilllute shark. I found a 300 gallon tank for one but it is a freshwater tank. Brand new but is setup for freshwater. I have never had a shark tank before just a reef tank. What would I have to do to convert/ and a list of everything I will need. Thank you for your time

there isn’t much of a difference so converting isn’t really that big of a deal. You need:
Argonite Sand, a lot of sand. It should be fairly fine.
some rock work but not a ton. Bamboo sharks are bottom sharks and too much rock will cause injury.
ideally a large sump with an over sized skimmer, sharks are really messy. You can put rock rubble in the sump as well as macro algae to help deal with the bioload.
